Add "And them's the facts!" to the end of the article to clarify that the article is over. 128.237.195.188 (talk) 19:44, 30 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

The vandalism is inspired by this ClickHole article, if you were wondering. Pbtflakes (talk) 21:28, 30 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Controversy" edit

I don't want to run afoul of any Wikipedia policy on what constitutes "controversy," but is what currently exists in the "Controversy" section really that? I don't think people being confused about relatively obvious satire is all that controversial. Nor is the quasi-philosophical question as to whether ClickHole is "clickbait parody" or "parody-as-clickbait." Efyeahimamarxist (talk) 15:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

It took a while but since the Controversy section did not contain any actual controversy I merged it with the Reception section. Comments from critics, and the audience failing to understand that the site was satirical broadly fits under Reception. -- 109.78.248.150 (talk) 13:11, 14 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

um, what? edit

"it was revealed that the ClickHole team meets frequently to brainstorm about new ideas and topics that can be written about."

Is this supposed to be some kind of Onion satire? Pretty sure every news/satire/writing organization on the planet "meets frequently to brainstorm" ... this is written like it was some great big reveal. Scrap this entire section, it's irrelevant. Nothing different than what every news/satire organization does. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowjournalism (talkcontribs) 03:20, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

If you see a problem, you're encouraged to be bold and fix it. – Muboshgu (talk) 04:07, 27 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

updates for accuracy edit

Hi, not sure if I'm doing this correctly, but I'm a representative from ClickHole, and I was hoping someone could correct some inaccuracies on our Wikipedia page. Currently, the owner is listed as Cards Against Humanity LLC, whereas ClickHole is an employee-owned independent entity legally registered as ClickHole LLC. Also, the editor-in-chief is listed as Matt Powers, who has not been employed by the website in a couple years. The current editor-in-chief is Steve Etheridge. Additionally, the staff is listed as having 30 members, when in actuality we have six full-time staff members. Most of this information can be verified by article 11 under the references section——this is the most recent and accurate reporting on the company. If you need additional verification, please contact ClickHole's editor-in-chief, who can be reached at setheridge@clickhole.com. Thanks!
